Conspicuously missing from an anti-housing discrimination bill approved by the Assem bly Ways and Means commit tee was the clause that would provide penalties for failure to comply with the proposed law. The bill's sponsor, Byron Rumford, D - Berkeley, said the clause was removed at the request of his assembly col leagues, notably Speaker Jesse M. Unruh, who said the Berkeley election pinpointed the need for "more educa tion" in the civil rights field. But Rumford said despite the missing penalty clause, the Fair Employment Practices commission could still seek in- junctions against persons prac-i ucillg racial ui jviigiuua uio- crimination in housing. He ! said if the violation continued ; the violator could be faced with contempt of court pro ceedings. Major opposition came from a spokesman for the Call- lions." The bill, backed by Gov. Edmund G. Brown, would al low the FEPC to investigate complaints about housing dis crimination and would cover all housing except apartments of four units and smaller occu pied by the owner. Elsewhere, there were these developments: Decision: A superior court nainagrs decision by a Sacramento judge nullified neighborhood interference with the sale of a home in a while area to a Negro couple. Judge William A. White, who rendered the decision, said he believed it was the first case of a Cali fornia court recognizing that a cause of action existed where there was unlawful in terference based on racial dis crimination. While ruled that Mr. and Mrs. Lee McCoy had con tracted with Mr. and Mrs. Ed gar W. Duff Jr., to sell the McCoy home in the suburbs for $18,500. He said neighbors persuaded the McCoys to sell il to someone else. White or dered the new owners to sell the house to the Duffs and or dered them lo pay $1,000, damages along with another neighbor plus $a00 punitive PET TALK Sy M. I. L.

THE SHAME OF THE HUMAN RACE One need only visit a dog i pound or animal shelter lo be impressed with the sad truth that the human race in many instances is unworthy of dos and of other members of the animal kingdom. Recently we visited an animal shelter and there were about 60 dogs peering through the cage bars. There would be a look of hope in the eyes, an car went up, the body would stiffen into alert attention - perhaps a familiar voice would be heard, a familiar human scent snif fed. Then came the inevitable disappointment-no he's not the one. Will he ever come? What has happened to him? And the dog settled back in the corner of the cage, put its head on its paws, and pre- Thc Shriner and his wife tended to be unconcerned. will be greeted at the Medford 1 Uon 1 VLsU a dos puna un' . less you arc prepared to come airport Tuesday morning by a ; Hwav Sad-hearted and your in riclegation of southern Oregon I near self greatly disturbed.

The report was made by ' Drs. Donald E. Rounds and C M Pomerate of the Pasa dena Foundation of Medical ; Research. They said the ex periments "show there are sufficient carcinogens (cancer bearing chemicals) in the at mosphere to trigger the initial steps towards malignancy." They said they couldn't say j what caused the malignancy ! "but we can say that the changes in the? cells were nearly identical to changes appearing when carcinogens arc used." Meningitis: All 111,000 naval training center recruits at San Diego underwent enforced mass medication after a new case of meningitis was dis covered. Dosages of sulfadiazine lab lets for every recruit for two days were prescribed after discovery of the 10th case within six weeks. Three re cruits died and seven others were hospitalized during two previous outbreaks of the dis ease beginning March 10. Discrimination: All frater nities and sororities at the University of California have been ordered to drop their dis crimination clauses by Sept. 1, 1904. Clark Kerr, president of the nation's largest university, said the fraternal groups will not be permitted to practice discrimination because of race, religion or national ori gin after the beginning of the 1064-65 school year. The university board of re gents adopted an anti-discrimination policy for local frater I nal croups in 1050. but many chapters on the university's seven campuses arc amiiaien with national groups with charier clauses banning var ious minority groups. Bottled: An armed would-be bandit had to give up his at tempt to rob a grocery store in Whitticr after a bottle bat tic with the store's owner and a clerk. The bandit faced the two men am thrv nnonrH the store but the two dashed behind a ' counter and launched the bar- 1 rage of soft drink bottles. The gunman fired two wild shots with an automatic and fled. .director of one of the units located at Portland, Ore. In a recent address in Flor ida, Klepper said the Shriners' Hospitals for Crippled Chil dren have won widespread en 1 dorsemont from the general ' public as evidenced by the ' fact that 50 per cent of be quest loft to these institutions i are not from Masons and Shriners but from the public.
